My wife and I went out to lunch today.
My wife: "What is the quality that makes you want to be friends with someone, TK?"
Me: "Kindness. It's always been kindness. If I see someone acting kind to others, I want to be friends with them."

I don’t think audiobooks get enough credit for being the *elite* form of sick day entertainment. You’re telling me I can enjoy an escapist pastime without having to keep my eyes open? Say less

Okay gang, since we all seem to have the plague, what’s your #1 symptom? Seems like everyone’s main symptom is different, so I thought we’d make this fun. I’ll go first: my sinuses feel like someone laid bricks inside them

I am genuinely emotional right now. Alzheimer’s has affected so many families, mine included. The likelihood of getting it has made my feelings about aging remarkably complicated and scary. This news is….big.
Wanna see real-life miracles? Fund scientific research.
A team of US scientists just cured Alzheimer’s in mice — and there is now hope that the disease can be reversed in humans.

As @ryanmckeen.bsky.social said recently: values are what you do when it’s inconvenient and doesn’t maximize profit.
“Financially devastating but morally exhilarating” is a line that will stick with me.

Oh, you think you’re good at wrapping presents? You probably use the nice paper. That’s like bowling with bumpers. Me? I use the cheap stuff. That takes skill. That takes focus. That takes surgical dexterity, lest you breathe and rip it and have to start over. We are not the same.

It was such a joy to celebrate Hanukkah with Mandy, Kathryn and their son, Gideon. As Jewish New Yorkers across our city prepare to light candles and mark the seventh night today, I wish you and your families a Hanukkah full of light and love.

Thinking about the difference between niceness and kindness today.
Niceness is easy. Niceness is safe. Niceness is non-committal. Niceness is comfortable. Niceness is performance.
Kindness is risky. Kindness is fierce. Kindness is conviction. Kindness is active. Kindness is character.
